Free DNA Tests Available

September 13, 2013 by Tom Cloud

We have free DNA tests available for certain Cloud lines

DNA

If you are a male descended from selected lines of William CLOUD / CLOUDE born 1621 in England who emigrated to the American Colonies and died 1702 in Pennsylvania, we would like to hear from you.

pedigrees_

We only have participants in our DNA Project from two of William Cloude’s five sons who lived to adulthood. We really need representation from the other lines. We need participants from the lines of his other three sons (circled in red at right).

If you are descended from the patrilineal line of one of these three sons of William, we need your test in our DNA Project and can provide a free test for you.

If you are a patrilineal descendant of one of these lines, we need you:

  • William CLOUD (1647 Eng-1720 PA) who married Grace WILLIS.
  • Joseph CLOUD (1651 Eng-1739 PA) who married Mary GREENE.
  • John CLOUD (1644 Eng-) who married Anne BEESON.
  • * A patrilineal line means father to son (or male only) – this is necessary because our Project uses the Y-chromosome to create a signature for the paternal line, and only men have the Y-chromosome.
